After saying goodbye to Zhu Shaoliang, Su Dao pondered what to do at night? Is it to go straight away? Or how? Once Su Dao's Reading Brigade left Shanghai, the fate of the Battle of Songhu would return to the original point, the only difference was that the army had more people dead than in history this time, and two wings had completely disappeared from the establishment.

With Su Dao's current strength, he can't solve the current situation, but Su Dao doesn't want to just let things develop, he has already leveraged a trace of history, but because it has just begun at this time, the change of things is not enough to highlight it.

In the dark, Su Dao secretly ordered his troops to be stationed in the area to the west, so that they could evacuate in time. Since there is more that cannot be changed, Su Dao can only go with the flow, at least he has tried.

Su Dao's side is ready to evacuate, and the other is to quickly collect some of the veterans who have been scattered, and the time given to Su Dao is running out, and it is only half a day before Su Dao's scheduled retreat time, so you can collect as much as you can, it is better than letting a reading brigade hold the entire defense line.

"Good news, Traveler." As soon as Su Daogang entered the brigade headquarters, before he could sit down, Wu Zhongguo walked up with excitement on his face.

"What's the good news?" Now Su Dao's mind is full of retreat and digging into the wall, and for other things, Su Dao really doesn't have the heart to care about it now, but since there is good news, Su Dao will also try his best to find out.

"The seriously wounded in our hospital are almost fine, although they can't fight yet, but it's no problem to read and walk, I have asked them to withdraw in the direction of Nanjing, this group of wounded people has brought us nearly a thousand wounded veterans, and they are all those who can fight now." Wu Zhongguo said excitedly, with these nearly 1,000 veterans, the combat effectiveness of the Reading Brigade will increase by a large margin, how can Wu Zhongguo, as the chief of staff of the Reading Brigade, not be excited?

"Haha, this is really good news, let the cooking class start cooking, put more meat, and after eating, let Lao Liu and Lao Sun include those veterans in their respective regiments, take out the equipment we have in reserve and send them to them, we must be fair and just, what our soldiers have, we must also give those veterans complete." Remember not to engage in any powerful behavior, once discovered, severely punished. Su Dao said.

This is really good news, just thinking about digging the foot of the wall, this has just been deployed, and that group of veterans has dug up nearly a thousand veterans, and plus the wounded who have come one after another, there are almost 2,000 veterans brought by this batch of seriously wounded alone.

At this time, the number of people in the Reading Brigade was about 8,000, and it included the 1,500 supplementary soldiers, but if you add these nearly 1,000 soldiers, the actual number of the Reading Brigade still reached nearly 10,000, and unconsciously, Su Dao only took more than two months to turn a third battalion into a Reading Brigade, and the number of people increased sharply from more than 700 to nearly 10,000, even Su Dao himself was a little proud.

It's just that Su Dao is not satisfied with the current number of troops, he still feels that there are too few people, 10,000 people can't resist the large-scale attack of the army, and Su Dao now has no armored troops, no heavy artillery, no air force, and no navy, in the next battle, Su Dao can be said to have taken advantage of the disadvantage.

"Brigade seat, let's dig into the wall like this, I'm afraid that friendly troops will come to the door." Wu Zhongguo, who was excited, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said.

The most precious thing in wartime is the veterans, especially those who have been wounded, and they know how to protect themselves and kill and wound the enemy at the same time. On top of that, these are veterans who have been through the baptism of war, and they have sharper instincts and stronger fighting ability than those recruits. Therefore, Su Dao is now digging the foot of the wall with all his might, which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other troops, you must know that every army now regards veterans as treasures.

"It doesn't matter what he does so much, it's a time of war, and if I can poach people, it shows that he has no way to govern the army, and whoever dares to come will be driven back to Lao Tzu." But I don't think they had a chance to come. At 11 o'clock in the evening, we began to withdraw from Shanghai. At the same time, the signal corps was asked to inform the defenders of Shanghai of the news that more than 100,000 troops of the 10th Army were about to increase their strength from the direction of Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay, and at the same time send a report to Nanjing. After thinking about it, Su Dao said firmly.

Now there is only this way, Su Dao remembers that the national defense fortifications he wants to build have no role in history at all, and Su Dao's plan is to collect the veterans as much as possible, and then withdraw into the national defense fortifications with the Reading Brigade first, and when the Chinese defenders retreat, they can be given some time to rest, as for the future, Su Dao has not thought so far.

Anything can happen on the battlefield, and Su Dao didn't have the heart to think about it so much.

As of ten o'clock in the evening, the soldiers of the Reading Brigade have successively brought nearly a thousand veterans, all of whom were attracted by the generous welfare of the Reading Brigade, and in the afternoon, Zhu Shaoliang asked people to send a million oceans, and Su Dao directly asked those people to pull away millions of oceans worth of medicines from the warehouse, in fact, there are not many, after all, Su Dao still has to make a fortune by relying on these drugs, too disrupting the market price, which is very unfavorable to Su Dao's future development.

In the afternoon of the same day, Su Dao asked the generals of each unit to pay their salaries, not only did not owe a penny, but also gave each soldier an extra piece of ocean as liquidated damages for two months of arrears. As soon as this measure was implemented, the entire Reading Brigade suddenly fell into a mess, and it was already a normal thing to be a soldier in arrears of pay these years, and no one thought that after two months of arrears of wages in the Reading Brigade, they could not only get the previously promised military salary, but also get a piece of the ocean of arrears of liquidated damages.

This made the veterans who had just come to the Reading Brigade envious, and after seeing that the salary of the Reading Brigade was nearly twice as high as theirs, they decided to stay here, but when they saw the extra ocean, their determination to stay was even more indestructible.

Soon the entire Shanghai army knew about the treatment of the Reading Brigade, and many people even risked being deserters to join the Reading Brigade. Now there are more than 10,000 people in the Reading Brigade, which can even be compared to a B division.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, when the soldiers of other troops had already fallen asleep, the soldiers of the Reading Brigade had already packed their bags and waited for the retreat order from above.

"When the time comes, order the troops to start retreating, and let the signal corps send a report to the various army groups." Su Dao looked at the time and ordered directly.

Originally, I wanted to send the information to each division, but this can only be just a thought, now there are more than 70 divisions in Shanghai, if they send telegrams one by one, they will be sent to the Year of the Monkey, so they can only be sent to various group armies, as for whether to withdraw or fight, Su Dao can't care.

And a brigade of Su Dao could not hold the entire Wufu line, so it could only choose a section to defend, once the army broke through the entire Wufu line, that is, when the Reading Brigade retreated.
